[post Mathematica related solutions only, others to the poster. -moderator] I have the following problem, that I assume, for the type of persons I see here, is a piece of cake : I have a given rectangle. Now, I would like to put inside this rectangle, a given number N of smaller and different rectangles, in such a way to have the least amount of free space ( classic :) ). Cutting small carpets from a big one. If you know were to find or a book that deals this kind of problems, ( simillar to a puzzle ), or if you have a tip I will be very greatfull. Thanks in advance for any tip. Joaquim J. Dias da Silva jquim at individual.EUnet.pt CT4QW Porto PORTUGAL
